Default Roof venting, ridge vent or power fan?

So, the vents let out the heat, instead of your heat staying in? That could
be a bad thing. You have insullation to keep the heat in while the roof is
cold?

When I had my roof replaced last year, I had full soffit vents cut and a
ridge vent installed. I also added baffles to improve the air flow. No
icicles on my house when other houses had them. Snow remaining on my roof
after other houses had none.

Prior to the new roof, I had no soffit vents and only gable end vents.
Icicles every year, ice dams kept at bay with heat wires. This year, no
wires, no icicles. I'm pleased.
